Why is Sigma Chi Important to you?
"The values I found in Sigma Chi as an undergraduate have served as a guidepost in my life and continue to guide me today. They are as valid – and meaningful – as they were when I was initiated back in 1967."
Why is the CFAC Beneficial to local Sigs?
"For those that are recent graduates, active alumni involvement affords a ready network of contacts and mentors to help integrate you into the professional community; it also fills the loss of leaving behind active participation in an undergraduate chapter. For those who are raising families and building careers, CFAC membership offers the camaraderie often missing in lives preoccupied by the demand of work and family. For those alumni with grown families, CFAC involvement fills a gap left when the nest empties and provides an outlet for creative mentoring to younger Sigma Chi brothers. For our senior alumni it offers the chance to contribute and give back in some way for what Sigma Chi has given you. It also allows you to relocate long-lost brothers and to re-establish old ties. Finally, it rekindles fraternal bonds of friendship and reminds us of what Sigma Chi truly means to us. I recently witnessed the Ritual at a Sigma Chi initiation attended by over 40 Alumni brothers. It was an exceptionally moving experience, and I can tell you there was hardly a dry eye in the house!"
